| Post subject: | Correct ID of my model |
Hi guys, I am having trouble identifying my model, H1. My eng# is KAE100793, Ch is H1F30740. Ok you say, simple - just look it up! But the numbers fall toward the end of the `E` model, definately pre-`F`, even though it is an F on the compliance plate (sticker) on the steering head. It`s not critical but I have to know these things. The manuals I have do not list the F separately but put it in with the E which is not always correct for the F. For example; I have had problems rebuilding and tuning the bike and only recently finally found a chart which listed the F`s main jet as `90` as apposed to the `92.5`s I had been using. This helped. The colour (candy super red) is as per the E mod. Etc, anybody got any advice ? |

The "F" on your head sticker means "Frame", not model F. The ID chart is correct, you have an H1E. |

It happens all the time. Welcome to the board. Where are you? (good to add your location to your board profile) England or Australia, as a guess? (you said "mate") |

Yes, I`m in (or near) Sydney Australia. I bought the bike off a 74 yr old guy on ebay who said he bought it new in`76, which further confused me as to the age. I found, predictably the bike in much poorer condition than stated but wanted a project and was happy to do pretty much everything to it, which as it turned out was just as well as that`s what it needed. I could tell you some of the problems I`ve had but would probably get boring. Getting there though. I prefer this model as it still goes, but has considerably better handling, styling etc and I`ve done a couple of mods which are good. |

The system tried to upload but now just drops out. Briefly it`s got the h2 front right disc and caliper (virtually unobtainium), which I could not resist as the attachments were all there for it, straight bars, modern replica tyres (Dunlop roadmaster TT100), and I`ve replaced virtually everything that wears. Wossner teflon pistons in 61, Ikon shocks etc. I will try photos again when back together in a couple of weeks. |

Updated profile Jim. Yes, I could have used the `board`s help in the rebuild but just the confirmation as to the exact model was very helpful. I just reset the carb settings to the correct main (92.5) and jet needle position(4) for the `E`. After I get the top end back together the next thing will hopefully be the Higgspeed Expansion Chambers.........then the bottom end..........then the frame powdercoated..........stainless spokes..........final respray ......etc, etc (that`s about 2 years for me). See you later and thanks. Oh and anybody thinking of Raask Rearsets for their triple.......don`t. |
